The correct answer for this question is C. In the pre-Civil War years slaves were regarded as valuable property. They were sold for money to other slave-owners in the south without any regard for their humanity or right to a free life. Their health and skills were considered, but only in the context of whether this added to or took away from their value.
The answer is "as valuable property". This is definitely the correct answer.
